First and foremost, I have NO issue with promoting him to "Interim Head Coach." His presser was impressive and he brings an obvious intensity and potential "toughness" this team has lacked.
He describes himself primarily as a "motivator" and someone focused on getting the most out of the players talent. Again, this is something we've obviously lacked and certainly a positive quality for a HC.
That said, my concern focuses on Campbell's lack of coaching experience, and specifically his lack of any tenure as a DC or OC. That by itself may not be a death blow, but certainly a point to consider in terms of matching up against other very experienced HCs who have either a strong D background or experience calling plays and/or formulating O game plans.
So the question is -- is it enough to be a strong motivator and disciplinarian as a top quality NFL HC -- or is it essential to be a "special talent" as a defensive mind or offensive mind?
I think the lack of that (as a proven commodity) is a significant concern for Dan's long term viability as an NFL HC.
